Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2687101A1] Processing apparatus (1) for poultry comprising one or more transfer units (2) placed intermediate and conveying poultry from a first line to a subsequent second line, wherein both the first line and the second line are selected from the group comprising a slaughtering line (3), an evisceration line (4), a chilling line (5), a sorting line (6) and a cutup line (7, 8), wherein each transfer unit is embodied with a circulating support (9) onto which a plurality of transfer means are mounted that in a not obstructed situation do not carry out a relative movement with respect to the support, yet in an obstructed situation are able to move relative to the support, and that the circulating support is arranged to convey the transfer means between a supply station (3.1; 4.1; 5.1; 6.11; 6.12) at the side of the first line and a delivery station (4.0; 5.0; 6.0; 7.0; 8.0) at the side of the second line and vice versa, wherein the circulating support comprises material that is magnetically conductive and that the transfer means are provided with at least one magnet so as to induce eddy currents in the circulating support that counteracts relative motion between the transfer means and the circulating support.
